A method of mounting a semiconductor chip in which an IC chip is mounted by filling a gap between the chip and a substrate with adhesive which functions as an underfill. The fillet of the underfill is made to have a preferable shape. To accomplish this, a head IC chip provided with bumps is placed on a suspension that is covered with the underfill adhesive and is provided with pads. A bonding tool presses the head IC chip and applies ultrasonic oscillation to the head IC chip, so that the bumps are properly bonded to the pads. When the head IC chip is pressed and subjected to ultrasonic oscillation, the ultraviolet rays 108 are emitted so as to harden the peripheral portion 151a of the adhesive 151 spread out between the head IC chip 11 and the suspension 12.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A semiconductor chip mounting device, comprising: a bonding tool that presses a semiconductor chip while an insulating adhesive is interposed between the semiconductor chip provided with bumps and a substrate provided with pads, and ultrasonically bonds the bumps to the pads, wherein the bonding tool has a square pole shape and has side surfaces that are bent inward with respect to virtual flat surfaces between adjacent corners of the bonding tool.
2. A semiconductor chip mounting device comprising: a bonding tool that presses a silicon chip provided with bumps while an insulating adhesive is interposed between said silicon chip and a substrate provided with pads, and ultrasonically bonds the bumps to the pads; and a device moving and placing a sheet between the bonding tool and the silicon chip, there being a greater friction coefficient both between the silicon chip and the sheet and between the bonding tool and the sheet, than a friction coefficient between the silicon chip and the bonding tool.
